newly registered accounts manually. If that, you can bypass Activate Account
step and move to Create Penname step (change the registration status of
directory to Create Penname state manually).
The tool automatically fills up the setting parameters for Gmail and Yahoo
email accounts. However, you have to enable POP access function of email
account before using this function. For instructions how to enable the POP
access, visit:

Your email client can move some of confirmation email to Spam/Bulk Box.
Move them back to Inbox, run Get Activate Links to extract the activation
links, or activate your account manually (Don’t forget to change your profile
registration status accordingly).
If you use another POP3 email account, contact your administrator for
getting email account’s parameters.
